Hi there, I'm Maria!

I help clients with stress and anxiety, relationship issues, trauma and abuse, and motivation and self-esteem. You are the expert on your story and have strengths that will help you overcome challenges. It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling life and take steps towards change. I am here to support you in that journey.

My focus

I work with children, adults, couples, and families facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, trauma, self-esteem struggles, communication problems, forgiveness, guilt and shame, isolation, life purpose questions, self-love, social anxiety, and phobias.

My approach

I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, and Motivational Interviewing to guide clients toward positive changes. These approaches help you understand patterns, process difficult experiences, and build motivation for lasting growth.
